Who Made Him a Lawyer?-Chapter 129 - 124: Wu Chengjun: Are You Insulting My Reputation? [Monthly Ticket, Please!]

Xu Liang instinctively felt that the things he'd done were exposed, and his reputation had gone bad.

However...

"Senior Brother is famous now, the entire law school looks up to you as a role model!"

Su Yu covered her mouth and laughed lightly.

"Just a couple of days ago, the leadership was using you as an exemplary graduate to promote to us, saying we should emulate you, be true to ourselves, and be law-abiding legal scholars, rooting out evil and upholding good, stopping crime with law!"

Exactly.

Absolutely right!

Xu Liang's lips curled into a faint smile.

This is practically talking about himself!

He thought so, someone like him who fights criminal cases, from the death penalty to being cleared of criminal responsibility and only pays a few thousand, how could he have a bad reputation.

Sun Quan and Chen Dong, they'd practically want to set up a longevity tablet in his honor!

"Now the whole law school has Senior Brother as a role model, everyone's full of enthusiasm!"

Su Yu spoke again, then her voice turned lighter.

"It's just... someone tried calling Senior Brother but couldn't get through, so they regrettably had to seek elsewhere."

"I originally wanted Professor Wu to recommend me to you, but upon hearing that news, I gave up the idea, and today I'm really surprised that Senior Brother approached me!"

Su Yu said this, feeling a bit emotional.

She exuded the appearance of someone meeting their idol.

Upon hearing this, Xu Liang counted the days.

Only to realize that was the time when his phone had been smashed.

'I've unknowingly rejected so many seasoned people....'

Xu Liang thought to himself.

But he was not discouraged.

After all, during that time Lu Yao had not yet funded him, even if he answered calls he wouldn't be able to hire anyone.

Setting aside his thoughts.

Xu Liang looked at Su Yu in front of him, his expression gradually turning serious.

"Junior Sister Su, since the teacher explained it to you over the phone."

"But that's ultimately the teacher's words, to avoid any unnecessary complications."

"I'm here now to repeat it to you once again."

He took a deep breath.

And spoke to Su Yu in a serious tone:

"Firstly, because the law firm is in its starting phase, the salary I'm offering you isn't very high, we're temporarily following a middle-low market contract."

"However!"

As he spoke, Xu Liang's eyes lit up, he stared at the other person.

Su Yu was startled, she couldn't even remember what had just been said.

"But, precisely because the law firm is in its starting phase!"

"So, when the firm develops in the future, you will be part of the first batch of key employees, employee number 000003!"

"You'll definitely be in the firm's core leadership, and if you still wish to be in court trials, your agency fees will also be at the firm's highest standard!"

"The current modest benefits will return to you a thousandfold, even ten thousand fold, in the future!"

Employee number 00003!

The highest standard agency fees!?

A thousandfold, ten thousandfold return!!!

Su Yu was stunned, looking at Xu Liang's earnest and serious face, her heart thumping wildly.

The most crucial thing was...

"You know, my firm is in the remote Hanhai City."

"The reason I chose Hanhai City is not because of less competition, nor because of supposedly low starting requirements."

Xu Liang's face showed remorse, but there was light in his eyes.

"But because it's remote!"

"The more remote the place, the harder justice is to administer, the darker the hidden secrets, and more people suffer injustice."

"Staying in Upper City is like a firefly in daylight."

"While in Hanhai, it's like the full moon illuminating deep chasms!"

"Junior Sister Su."

Xu Liang took out the pre-prepared contract and placed it on the table.

Looking at Su Yu, he solemnly asked:

"Do you... want to join me in helping those who suffer injustice and torment!?"

As these words fell.

Su Yu's long-suppressed words instantly burst forth.

"I'm willing!"

Su Yu was very excited.

Xu Liang's words struck right at her heart!

What does making money matter, what does a thousandfold, ten thousandfold return matter, isn't standing up for justice more important?

After studying diligently for over ten years, is graduation just for this money that reeks of foulness!?

Ideals are the most important!

Su Yu felt dizzy.

She didn't even know when she had finished signing the contract, unaware she'd already bound herself to the ethical law firm.

"Great."

Xu Liang showed a smile and appropriately praised her.

"Junior Sister, I was indeed right about you!"

"Believe that in the future, you will definitely contribute to the refinement of the judicial system!"

Su Yu felt her blood surging through her body, radiating warmth, nodding solemnly.

"Senior Brother, when do we return to the firm!?" Su Yu eagerly asked.

She was already impatient to contribute to the law firm!

"Don't you need to pack your things?"

Xu Liang asked.

Unexpectedly, Su Yu righteously replied:

"Great deeds are unconcerned with trivial details, going to Hanhai a day early means saving another who suffers."

"I don't have much luggage, I can pack it today!"

"My family supports me going places, they don't oppose me going to Hanhai either!"

Xu Liang stared blankly at her.

After a long time, he was startled.

'Oh no, I overdid it with the persuasion!'

He was a bit regretful about using the strength for persuading Yang Ruoxi to persuade her...

The former had been scrutinized by society for several years.

The latter was still a passionate graduate....

"No rush, no rush, we'll leave tonight."

Xu Liang reassured her:

"You can take advantage of the time to pack your luggage and say goodbye to friends and family."

Su Yu nodded.

She thought his words made sense!

"Okay, Senior Brother, I'll go find my classmates first!"

With that, Su Yu left in a hurry.

Watching her eager back, Xu Liang showed a satisfied smile.

"Such a promising talent."

"Indeed, coming to Upper City was the right choice!"

Signing an Upper City University graduate with a middle-low market contract, praised even by Wu Chengjun, and possessing such energy....

He could be said to have hit the jackpot!

'First go bid farewell to the teacher, then take Xiao Yang back to Hanhai.'

Xu Liang thought to himself.

Spending an extra day here wastes a day of earning money!

Thinking of this.

Xu Liang felt a surge of anxiety in his heart, quickly got up, and headed to the office.

He had to say goodbye to Wu Chengjun.

However...

As he approached the office.

A series of voices suddenly came from inside the door.

"Old Wang, what do you mean? Are you doubting my integrity?"

"I'm Wu Chengjun, and my name is known. You can go out and ask around. Anyone in Upper City knows I detest those who play dirty tricks!"

"I'm telling you, if you slander me again, I won't let this slide!"

"This is defamation, I can sue you!"

"..."

Xu Liang's footsteps suddenly halted.

He pushed open the door and saw Wu Chengjun, furious and holding a cellphone.

At this moment, Wu Chengjun stood up, pacing back and forth, his face burned with rage.

Xu Liang's heart stirred, and he looked at Li Yang nearby.

"What's wrong with the teacher?"

He was fine when he went out, so why is he like this upon returning...

"A call from Judge Wang at the Supreme Court."

Li Yang noticed Xu Liang and whispered.

"I don't know what madness this is, but he started yelling at our teacher, calling him hypocritical scum, and said his years of legal study were useless..."

"The teacher was unreasonably scolded, and now he's extremely angry..."

The Supreme Court, huh...

Xu Liang retreated calmly.

"Senior Brother, I was never here."

"Just tell the teacher I'm catching a train and have to leave."

Hearing this, Li Yang opened his mouth in surprise:

"You're not staying a bit longer?"

"No, I'll come back to see the teacher during the New Year."

With that, Xu Liang quickly left.

He waited for Su Yu at the cafe for quite a while.

Soon, Su Yu arrived with her packed belongings, seeing this, Xu Liang quickly led her away.

Li Yang felt a bit baffled.

But it wasn't a big deal, so he ignored it and turned to watch the heated debate with Wu Chengjun.

Li Yang watched solemnly, murmuring:

"Teacher...I've learned something!"

...

...

In Upper City, at the Supreme Court.

"Damn old geezer!"

"Has no shame!"

"Pretending for a lifetime, I really thought you were just a strict old bloke!"

In an office, Judge Wang Yao held his cellphone, fuming with anger.

The phone's speaker emitted a voice.

"You just wait for my lawsuit!"

The voice was indeed Wu Chengjun's.

Refined, Wang Yao was instantly enraged.

Lawsuit?

Sue him?

Considering what his student did in Hanhai City, where does he get the face to sue him!? Almost sixty years old and still shameless!

"Buzz off, old geezer!"

Wang Yao shouted angrily.

With that, he didn't give the other party a chance to retort and directly hung up the call.

"Beep beep beep~"

The insulting voice vanished from his ear.

Wang Yao's heaving chest slightly calmed.

But thinking of Wu Chengjun still made his teeth grind with fury.

Being Hanhai City's wife's hometown, he naturally knew the ins and outs of its cases.

Zhao Yi reported the case and without embellishment made the High Court collectively silent, then reported again, silent to Wang Yao.

"Knock knock knock~"

Suddenly.

The office door was knocked.

Wang Yao instinctively said, "Come in."

"Creak~"

The door opened, a sneaky head peeked in.

Then the head tilted towards Wang Yao, eyes lighting up.

"Dad!"

Hearing this voice.

Wang Yao suddenly froze, then excitedly turned to look, blurting out what's in his heart.

"Xiaoyang?!"

"Why come to Upper City without telling Dad so I could send someone to pick you up."

Yang Ruoxi pushed open the door and entered.

She first peeked in, ensuring the desk lacked Xu Liang's files, then giggled and said:

"Dad, I missed you and wanted to surprise you!"

"Also..."

Pausing, she tentatively asked:

"Did Mom call you about anything?"

A call?

Wang Yao nodded, "She did, what's up?"

She really made a call!?

Yang Ruoxi was startled.

Fortunately, Wang Yao continued:

"Your Mom said you're not doing the law firm anymore, seems like you've signed with some firm to be a lawyer..."

Hearing this, Wang Yao laughed:

"Not bad, putting your mind on the right track."

"Dad said starting a business isn't for you, you should honestly join a law firm."

"By the way, is it Chengen Law Firm you signed?"

Wang Yao looked curious again.

Law firms in Hanhai City are few, among them, Chengen Law Firm is the largest.

"Let me tell you, don't randomly sign with a firm!"

"There's a notorious litigant in Hanhai City, local judges can't handle him, and he has strong backing, he's a student of that old geezer Wu Chengjun!"

Yang Ruoxi:....

Yang Ruoxi's heart suddenly tightened.

But Wang Yao didn't notice, he only looked at his daughter.

Solemnly reminding:

"You must keep your distance from him in the future!"
